Episode Overview
- Faith in Christ can intercept various addictions.
- Righteousness by faith trumps righteousness by the law.
- Human pride and personal achievements can block true faith.
- Salvation requires a complete surrender of self-reliance.
- Understanding that salvation doesn't depend on our actions but on God's way.
To accept Christ as my righteousness is to do something totally counterintuitive. It is to give up belief in my accomplishments.
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', the focus is on the fascinating passage at the end of Romans chapter 9. Colin unpacks the verses, exploring how faith in the Gospel of Christ can intercept various addictions, whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or obsessive worry. Colin discusses the concept of righteousness by faith versus righteousness by the law.
He explains how Israel's pursuit of righteousness through the law often gets in the way of accepting righteousness by faith. This principle isn't limited to Israel; it applies to everyone. Have you ever wondered why some people find it hard to accept righteousness by faith? Colin suggests that human pride and the obsession with personal accomplishments can block our path to true faith. He shares that accepting Christ's righteousness requires a complete surrender of our own achievements and pride.
It's about recognising that our good works, just like our bad ones, are insignificant for salvation. Throughout the episode, Colin provides thought-provoking reflections on how God can bring all humanity to an end of itself, making way for true faith and salvation. He emphasises that it's not about giving up moral behaviour but understanding that our salvation doesn't depend on our actions. Instead, it depends on humbly submitting to God's way.
The episode is filled with deep insights and personal reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or seeking a deeper understanding of faith. Tune in to discover how letting go of self-reliance and embracing faith can lead to true spiritual freedom.
